unfortunately Nick Saban is about the only coach who is really good at both.

He's also coached at two of the easiest to recruit schools in the country. Funny how he wasn't quite as good of a recruiter at MSU as he was at LSU or Bama. Trade him and Petrino and I bet Petrino is bringing in top recruiting classes just the same.

player development>recruitingunfortunately Nick Saban is about the only coach who is really good at both.

I'm not even sure he's that great at player development. He's just an outstanding coach and an excellent recruiter (shouldn't be hard considering where he's been). But when he constantly reloads, that makes me put more of an emphasis on his coaching/recruiting. How much does he have to develop? Plug 5* A into hole left by 5* B. Rinse. Repeat.

I am not trying to be "that guy". I am just suggesting that as awesome as BMFP is, he might could do well to get some recruiters on this staff.

We obviously want DGB, Neal, Diamond, Peters, Orijke, Santos, and Garnder. Hell, we even get them to campus. We had an incredible recruiting extravaganza lat week filled with pep rallies, 19,050 fans at BWA and TulsaPerv stalking recruits at The Catfish Hole and nary a one commitment has come from it.

A new SEC school has jumped into the race for this sleeper wide receiver from Fayetteville (Ark.) and it’s a potential game changer.

“I’m going to sign Wednesday at 3p.m,” Brad Culp explained. “But I’m not sure who I’m going to sign with because Arkansas might still be offering me.

“I got a call from coach (Bobby) Allen (Monday). He said they would let me know by Wednesday morning if they were going to offer.”

Culp had previously been offered and visited Ole Miss and North Carolina and thought his decision was just going to come down to those two schools.

“(Arkansas) hasn’t offered but they said they lost two receivers today,” Culp explained. “(Allen) said they evaluated me today and watched all my film. I’m supposed to know either Tuesday night or Wednesday morning if I’ll have an offer.

“I’ve visited Arkansas a number of times.”

So is it a foregone conclusion that Culp will sign with the hometown Razorbacks if he gets the offer?

“I couldn’t say that. I’m honestly not sure…I’m confused on where I’m going to go. I’ll have a choice by Wednesday.”

I like recruiting a lot but I could do without the constant back and forth mood swings and hysteria. It is almost like you have to fear people in Missouri, Texas or Arkansas throwing themselves out of office windows on Wednesday morning at 9:30.
